I think that's one of the few games I've only been able to beat once. It came out when I was still too young to realize it was possible for a game to be bad, so I spent days and weeks and months carefully memorizing how each level worked. I've tried to replay it as an adult and never even gotten close to the end.

Both of those final bosses nearly gave me panic attacks as a child. It's not that they're that hard, but the fact that you have no rings was simply too much pressure for ten year old me to handle.

I had no idea there was a new Soarin. Riding the original at Disneyland was the first thing I did the day after I moved to LA, so sort of sad to see it's gone across all the parks.

Yeah it is pretty profitable and I actually find sailing though the beautiful environment relaxing. Those damn sirens though…

Believe it or not the current Witcher 1 is the result of a massive patch that fixed terrible translation and voice acting issues, so it was originally even worse. For a first game from a small, unknown developer it has a ton of interesting ideas, but it's now hopelessly dated. The second game rounds off a lot of the…

Alvin is briefly mentioned in a Witcher 3 sidequest. I loved the idea that Geralt basically raised his own villain, but yes the whole thing was sort of a pastiche of the books that has absolutely no bearing on Witcher 2 and 3.

I think there was some suggestion that Iorveth's path took Geralt closer to where Triss and Letho were last seen. For me Iorveth's area had more interesting characters and situations, but Iorveth himself quickly drops out of the plot either way, while Roche remains a major character. Witcher 3 acts like they sort of…

What's frustrating about the Bloody Baron quest is for all the praise is gets, whether the Baron lives or dies is (I think) entirely linked to the decision you make with the tree spirit. Something that really attracted me to the first Witcher game, for all its faults, is the way decisions didn't always have…

If possible resist the urge to go after every single question mark in the water in Skellige. The completionist in me couldn't let them pass, and it ended up knocking the whole experience down a notch. But there's some great stuff in Skellige, and getting there for the first time was one of my favorite parts of the…

That's the tragedy of the Boltons. It doesn't matter if you spent thousands of years compiling battle strategies for every conceivable situation, history will only remember the flaying.

I didn't quite get it yet at that point, thank goodness they also had him murder a dying, hugely sympathetic giant. Then it finally hit home.

That's a solid point about Sansa. I hope the show goes that way, but I've been a little disappointed with the character depth this season.

That's true, although Littlefinger's army was apparently less than an hour away. I agree that it was the only card they had to play, but it puts them in a dangerous situation that could potentially be as bad as the one they just escaped.

To even get in that situation required a lot of characters acting dumber than usual for no reason. We'll see what Sansa's long game is, but selling your family to a guy who would be happy to rule over a kingdom of corpses doesn't seem like a sustainable plan.

Probably Dread House or Dread Keep as soon as Stark inspectors discover it was never a proper fort.

I really like that Sansa finally got a win, but isn't bringing Littlefinger into this situation possibly the biggest political blunder in Westerosi history? Jon and Sansa now owe their lives and their House's existence to probably the most evil character in the GoT universe. I can't see this working out for anyone…

Jon was planning on fighting the battle manually and taking advantage of the notoriously buggy Bolton AI, but he let Ramsay goad him into hitting auto-calculate.

She was practicing her argument skills and knew that if she told him about the giant army that was going to arrive 15 minutes after the scheduled battle start time, he'd wait. It's dishonorable to win an argument using all available facts.

Yeah I'm not sure I've ever seen a continuous take scene of medieval carnage like that before, it was insane. Probably a logistical nightmare, but worth it.

As long as you have no follow up questions, yes, yes it is.
